Stopped in for a last minute dessert. Decided on the strawberry cake. They were short staffed with one decorator so I had to wait a while for writing on the cake. But as usual... the cake didn't disappoint. read more

Edgar's Bakery - Infamous Strawberry Cake - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Homewood, Alabama

I really wanted the good quality cake this place is known for but that wasn't the case. I looked at the slice case and there was so many well cut slices yet the one flavor I wanted they had 2 slices that looked like they cut it with a pair of thrift store dentures. Both slices were hacked up. I Asked if they had anymore because they looked really bad and they said no. I asked was there any pricing adjustment they said no. After debating against my better judgement purchased the better looking of the two because already made the trip. Sadly it was dry and not enjoyable. The employees excuse was "the new person cut it". But there should be a standard and slices that looked bad shouldn't be sold or shouldn't be sold at full price. But I guess the new person over baked the cake as well. The oatmeal cookie was half decent so I guess there's that. Was told to call them based off of my review on Google, so they could fix the issue. when I called he had me repeat literally what my review said then sent me on my way and told me have a nice day. Not sure how that fixed anything aside from solidifying the fact that they have poor service and poor products. That interaction did nothing but lower my opinion on their business. read more

Sadly this location is nowhere near as good as the one off colonnade. I've been to this one 4-5 times, so it's not a matter of having an off day. The service is great, place is always clean, but the food is noticeably subpar by comparison. The cinnamon roll was dry the last 3 times, but never at the other location. read more

Delicious shop. Red velvet cupcake was a little too sweet, but delicious and moist. Strawberry cupcake was very good. Service was super friendly and nice. Really nice inside. read more

If you want to make me a happy woman, bring me strawberry cake! SO yummy! I love this location which has a very inviting and clean atmosphere. Easy parking too! I visited for Valentine's order and had a quick and effortless visit! My other favorite items are the chicken salad, breakfast quesadilla, and cinnamon rolls. I imagine business will pick up with another local bakery close by closing. read more

First time at this location. Plenty of parking in the adjacent lot behind the hotel next door. Ordered quickly at the counter. I decided to try a new sandwich and picked the Pesto Chicken Sandwich - chicken, feta, peppers & pesto aioli on ciabatta bread with a side of Kettle Chips. After short wait my food arrived at the table. I really liked the sandwich and could definitely see myself ordering again, but have never had anything that I didn't care for at other locations. Because I am trying to do a little bit better, I managed to not get any desserts that were on display in the cases next to where I was sitting. It took a lot of will power because the strawberry cake and iced cookies are some of my favorites. I will be back for lunch again before long. read more

My friends wanted to come here after leaving brunch. I didn't buy anything. The inventory seemed a little light but possibly it was due to the time of day. The inside of the shop appeared to be smaller than I originally recall. The restroom wasn't the cleanest. I can't speak on service as I didn't interact with the staff. read more

Loved my experience here. The establishment was nice and clean. They also had an outside patio. I got a danish with chocolate drizzle and a milkyway latte. It was definitely hyped up on sugar but I enjoyed both. The service was quick and they come back around to pick up your plates and utensils if you stay to eat. I would definitely go back. read more

I ordered a veggie omelet with sides, and everything tasted fresh, though I would've loved a bit more flavor. I also ordered a cinnamon roll, unfortunately, the first one was so hard I could barely cut through it. Once I brought it to their attention, they immediately replaced it with a fresh one, which I appreciated. Overall, my visit was good, and I would return. read more

I had the pleasure of eating here with a dear friend as a post-birthday breakfast for me. The ambiance and food were on-point. This was my 1st visit to this location but it won't be my last. I enjoyed the bowl, and was surprised that it was brought out so fast. My friend ordered the breakfast quesadilla and I take it that she likes it because she says she always orders the same thing. Afterwards, I bought the infamous slice of strawberry cake to take home as a treat to eat later. Overall, this was a great visit and I look forward to my next visit. read more

Was so hoping their cheese straws were going to be epic!! Service was friendly and efficient! Orange rolls were great, but the cheese straws were such a disappointment, and for $9.50 , a very small amount I was I thought they must be delicious! NOT!!! read more

So I've never actually come here and tried any of their other desserts but their strawberry cake is soooo addicting! I'm not even sure what's in the cake (drugs?? How does it taste so good?!) but I can literally sit there and eat the whole thing if I could! This is probably one of my favorite cakes out there and I'm usually a chocolate loving girl so that's what's even more surprising. Every time I've picked up cake from here. the service is super quick! Parking is a little tough in the area but I've never had any problem finding a spot right outside. Ambiance is super casual and chill! Will definitely always be back because this is my go to cake spot!! read more

Visiting from Atlanta and knew the Strawberry cake was highly rated. Stopped in and gazed at the awesome display of sweets. Ordered a whole strawberry cake and it was fantastic. Just because they were upfront near counter I also ordered 2 cinnamon buns and I believe they may be the best I have ever had. I'm glad I don't live near an Edgar's location because I would be forced to try almost everything in the bakery. Loved it. read more

Absolutely loved my first visit. Too many baked items to select from. We tried several cupcakes, coconut cake and pecan cinnamon roll. My favorite was the strawberry cupcake and the cinnamon roll. I also tried the veggie melt. It was so good! I daughter enjoyed her Turkey club sandwich. I highly recommend this place! Very clean and friendly staff! read more

I discovered this location when I went next door to have lunch. What I found is that it may be a nice spot in the future for lunch. It was easy parking, as there is a lot with plenty of spaces. The customer service was great and the setup of the store was really nice. They have adequate spacing to eat inside and they serve both breakfast and lunch. Usually when I think of Edgar's, I think of desserts. But they have so much more to offer and even have some things available for pickup with no waiting. I will definitely consider this for the future. I picked up slices of strawberry cake and lemon cake. They were both great, moist, and the icing was not too overwhelming. I will be sure to visit this location again, as the staff was very friendly and they have a very nice selection of treats! read more

Got a slice of strawberry pound cake, lemon square to go, and a whole pound cake to go. The strawberry cake was "wet". Was wrapped in plastic and slid apart when opened. Couldn't eat. The lemon square was just a sticky blob that was just... sweet, not very lemony. Got home, opened the pound cake and... you guessed it. Awful as well. Very, very dry and tastes old. Little Debbie does it better. I'm so disappointed. Have memories from years ago and the best cake I ever had. Those days no more. Not worth going back. Ever. I'd give zero stars if I could. Truly an awful disappointment. read more

Delicious lunch sandwiches. Chicken melt and of course strawberry cake. Their display of goodies looked so good.

I ordered a custom cake for my company's Christmas party. When I went to pick it up the day before the party, the final design was very disappointing and had some errors, specifically the printed logo was cut off. The storefront employees were very polite and willing to figure out a solution. They took the cake back to re-do it and promised to have it ready the next day in time for the party. I am tremendously grateful to Mary, the representative from their corporate main office who contacted me to inquire about what was wrong on the cake, provide ways they can improve it, and made sure that the team members/bakers understood exactly what to do. She made a point to clarify everything we discussed multiple times to make sure her team would get it right, she followed up with me impeccably throughout the day, and called me to give her personal approval when the new cake was ready. I appreciated how much she took accountability for the mistake, how kind and apologetic she was towards me, and how determined she was to give us a fantastic cake for our event. Beyond impressed with her and Edgar's response to the mistake! read more

Edgar's is the best Bakery I have found. The pastry offerings are fantastic. Breakfast plates are first quality and priced well for the amount and quality of the ingredients. The Pecan and Orange Cinnamon Rolls are wonderful. Don't miss out on the Strawberry Cake it's a game changer. read more

This is based on one visit. The turkey club was excellent. Loved the multigrain bread. Nice selection of sandwiches. Cute atmosphere. We sat inside but the outdoor area would have been great if the weather was cooler. read more

Beautiful space inside and out and very pleasant service. It took a bit of wandering to figure out where to go to order food. The "order here" sign is blocked by a light fixture from the front door. The menu is on the wall behind the counter and was tough to read for one in our party with some vision problems. There may have been paper menus but we didn't see any and none were offered. I went with the crabapple jack sandwich. The house baked cranberry walnut bread was oddly gummy. Not dense and chewy, just gummy. Overall the sandwich fell flat for me. The Turkey was dry and flavorless and the slice of Swiss was so impossibly thin that it lacked flavor. The bacon was equally tasteless. For my side, I had chips and baked potato salad. The chips were nothing special and sort of tasted like pringles. The potato salad was heavy on the Mayo but was quite good. The other diner had the signature chicken salad sandwich on a house made croissant. The bread was absolutely gorgeous and had a very nice taste. I prefer a flakier croissant but it was good. The "signature" chicken salad was good but nothing special. I'd put my homemade against theirs any day. It desperately needed some seasoning. Overall, Edgars is a gorgeous place with very attractive food that fall short on taste. An abundance of mayo seems to be in everything. I understand it's a chain so I'm guessing the menu and recipes perform well, it's just not for me as I prefer bolder flavors and more aggressive seasoning. read more

Went here on a trip to homewood. The venue was really nice and modern. A cool bakery for sure to visit. went ahead and got the Reuben like I do at every restaurant that serves them. I would give it a 6.5 out of 10 on my Reuben scale. Good bread and accessory's but the meat was a little dry for a truly great Reuben. All in all pretty good experience. read more

Some of the best bakery items I've ever had and I love baked goods! I wish I lived in Birmingham just to eat at Edgar's.

Great customer service & love that they keep cakes in case for purchase on the same day

Not out of this world, but not terrible either. I got the strawberry and Italian creme cakes. They were moist, but extremely dense. Expecting something lighter, especially for a strawberry cake, it was a bit disappointing. All in all: the cakes were "meh". Maybe it was a bad baking day. read more

Ordered 2 pints of pepper slaw which needed to be portioned and bagged. That took 17 minutes. They acted offended that I called them out on it. I wasn't rude or loud, but I'm over their overpriced pretentious food and who gives a rip service. Customer who ordered after me, and received her meal before I got my slaw wished me luck. Zero stars. read more
